What are the steps to upload or download a program to the NFW2-100 using the VFWarden (PS-Tools) software?

To upload or download a program to the NFW2-100, the panel must be in Normal Mode with the communicator in a standby state (red phone line and Kissoff LEDs off). Remote programming is performed from a PC (Service Terminal) using a modem and telephone line (Page 156) [4].

1. Verify the panel is in Normal Mode and no active communications are ongoing with the Central Station (Page 156) [4].

2. Initiate the connection from the Service Terminal; the panel will answer and establish a basic modem connection (Page 156) [4].

3. The panel verifies the secret code and panel identification number before allowing data processing (Page 154) [4].

4. If callback is enabled, the panel hangs up, contacts the Central Station to report the request, and then calls the Service Terminal back to begin the transfer (Page 154) [4].

5. If callback is disabled, the data transfer proceeds immediately after security clearance (Page 154) [4].

6. After a successful download, you must print or manually verify all programmed entries and test all affected panel operations (Page 154) [4].
